Somebody already mentioned MZ Firefox but if your comfy with MS IE you can install Yahoo! toolbar and use the one in that which works pretty well.

Change the security settings on your browser. Then you'll get a little box at the top of the screen telling you that a pop-up was blocked. You can take the site name and go back to the security settings and decide to block or allow the site.
For firefox you uses Tools->options->content
For IE you Tools->Internet Options->security

Download Mozilla Firefox instead of Internet Explorer. IE is full of pop-ups and spyware, Firefox is the way to go. Try it and you'll see.

Ideally, you should prevent spyware and other malware from intruding onto your computer. Currently, the most common source of infection is websites with potentially dangerous content. Other methods of transmission, such as via e-mail or transmission by worms and viruses are also prevalent. The most important protection

Find a pop-up that tells you your system is running slow and that you should download a program to speed it up. I garentee you with my life that it is not scam since I have done it many times before. My comp always works gr8 afterewards. ^______^

I would scan your computer for adware\malware software.
www.trendmicro.com - it's free online virus\spyware\malware scanner then to prevent future pop-ups go to www.panicware.com and download 'Pop-up Stopper Free edition' it works really well.
